Good morning all. Happy Friday. What a great day rock hounding yesterday. We went to Nevada and Virginia city and right outside Nevada City, we stopped at a "Garnet" stand. purchased a bucket of sand and panned for the little beauties. It was clear as a bell when we started and then, the sky went nearly black and the winds came. Oh my amazing, one gust moved Mikahla about 20 feet. We were about to leave as it looked like lightning was coming and 2 years ago Monique was hit by lighting. But just that quick blue skies and clear! Then we went to the Ruby reservoir to look for rubies and garnets and agates. We found some nice stones and what a beautiful place. Then on to Dillon, we passes through Twin Bridges, MT" It looked like a tornado hit the town. Still not known yet if a tornado or just major wind shear hit that poor town. I have pictures of uprooted big major hits that fell and destroyed homes and businesses. Some small metal structures were destroyed as well. So a prayer for the people and town of Twin Bridges. On another note, Ringo, Monique horse is awaiting a follow up today form his vet. The trainer is cautiously optimistic and thinks the tendon is only a small tear and he will recover, but we will know more today. Thanks for all your prayers, rick, Monique and Mikahla.
